Research Fellowships in Australia, Coral Reefs Studies

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies is contacting people who might be interested in applying for an ARC Future Fellowship. The ARC Centre has recruited 38 full-time research fellows in the past 3 years, working in many fields relevant for coral reefs (e.g. biophysical sciences, climate
change, conservation planning, economics, social science, modelling).

The Centre is a world-leader in coral reef research (see http://www.coralcoe .org.au/annualre port08.pdf) with nodes at four Australian Universities. James Cook University and the ARC Centre will host the 12th International Coral Reef Symposium in Australia in 2012.

The ARC Future Fellowship scheme was launched in 2009. Two hundred awards are available each year. They are designed to attract outstanding mid-career researchers (5 to 15 years post-PhD) to Australia and are open to citizens of all countries.

These are four-year fellowships that provide salaries of up to $140,000/year
(see http://www.arc. gov.au/ncgp/ futurefel/ future_default. htm). Institutions that host Future Fellows negotiate additional support with applicants, such as salary top-up, research support, and continuing employment beyond the term of the fellowship.
Another scheme, ARC Discovery Fellowships, supports postdoctoral fellows within 3 years of their PhD. A third scheme, ARC Laureate Fellowships supports Professorial Fellows who are rising global leaders in their field.

If you are interested in joining the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies using any of these schemes (which span all career stages), please contact us for further advice by emailing your CV to info@coralcoe. org.au
